In any living organism that needs to breath, the only thing consistently required for life is the presence of moist membranes. The movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the membranes between the environment and the respiratory surface occurs by diffusion. Respiratory surfaces are generally thin and, since living animal cells must be wet in order to maintain their plasma membranes, these respiratory surfaces must be moist.
